It is one of the issues that the Metropolitan statistics of living conditions 2024-2025 published this Tuesday by the Metrópoli Institute from the Living Conditions Survey of the INE expanded by Idescat in Catalonia. On average, the risk of poverty in the municipalities of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area (AMB) is 19.4%, slightly lower than two years ago. But if you put a magnifying glass on it, you can see how poverty has fallen since then in the Catalan capital (from 19.7% to 16.4% of the population),…

Culture is being the great crutch to sustain the battered diplomatic relations between Spain and Mexico, which became strained in 2019 when the then newly elected Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, demanded from the Spanish Crown a gesture of reparation for the excesses of the Conquest and the viceroyalties. The letter then sent to the monarch was private, but the matter was resolved publicly with a forceful rejection by the Spanish Executive and a breakdown in relations that continues to this day.

Employee well-being, i.e. the well-being of employees, is largely responsible for the company’s success. “The health and well-being of employees are important operational resources,” says a short report from the German Economic Institute. Nevertheless, it is precisely this area that is at risk of being neglected in times of crises, restructuring and budget cuts. But what exactly does employee well-being involve? The term is often used synonymously with employee satisfaction. Katharina Streithofer-Posch is an expert in diversity, culture, well-being & social impact with over 20 years of experience in international organizations. For them, employee well-being has many facets that go…
Judge Carolina García Durrif, head of the Violence Against Women Court Number 12 in Madrid, informed former deputy Íñigo Errejón this Monday that she has archived the second complaint filed against him at the end of February for an alleged case of sexual assault. In a ruling, to which this newspaper has had access, the magistrate has rejected the request of Errejón’s defense to appear in the case because “the proceedings have been archived by a resolution dated today as the victim has not ratified her complaint.” The lawyer of the woman who reported, Alfredo Arrién, has informed this newspaper…

The question of whether employees who work from home are saving a lot of money these days can be answered clearly: yes. However, the legislature also clearly answers the question of whether high fuel costs entitle employees to work from home: no. How employees get to work falls within the employee’s personal risk sphere – not the company’s responsibility. Anyone who sees it differently is confusing desire with…
The former president of the Generalitat Valenciana Carlos Mazón will not be investigated for his management of the 2024 dana. For the moment. The Superior Court of Justice of the Valencian Community (TSJCV) has “unanimously” rejected putting the focus of the investigations on this popular man, who on the day of the flood spent almost four hours in a restaurant with a journalist while the province of Valencia was flooding. The judicial body does not appreciate in the reasoned exposition of the investigating judge of Catarroja (Valencia), Nuria Ruiz Tobarra, “a solid and objective foundation” from which “the character of…
